But reparations will? Not everyone is as stupid as a leftist. Then they should go to Africa and get reparations from the blacks that captured them and sold them as slaves.

You do understand that reparations doesn’t just mean every Black American is going to automatically get a fat check

They may or may not, the arguement is that it is past due, not that it is going to reverse the product of two centuries

And the “going back to Africa” bullshit is dumb, just flat out dumb, Black Americans aren’t Africans, but Americans

The idea is that America has many, many families (mostly white) who have huge advantages due to generational wealth. Americans slaves were separated from any generational wealth, then treated very violently and more.

They were separated by other blacks who captured them and sold them as slaves. They can go to Africa and seek reparations from them.

George Floyd had the same chance as Obama and Clarence Thomas

Why would anyone get reparations for slavery if they were never a slave? Are you having difficulty processing?

Because they inherited the consequences of slavery, and it is not just slavery, but institutionalized racism thereafter, did you really think Jim Crow was equitable

So then your claim about reversing the effects of racism was bullshit. Glad we agree.

Then if they are American pay your fucking taxes and get a fucking job. And save us the shining bullshit about racism preventing blacks from getting jobs.

I would gather that the proponents of reparations would argue that their families are the victims of two plus centuries of racism in America, keep in mind, their families didn’t ask to come here

Yep. Life is hard. My two kids were damn lucky they had good parenting. A shame it's so easy to bring a life into this fucked up world.

Really? You actually think the guy had the same chance as Obama or Thomas to be educated at private schools and Ivy League institutions?

You really that naive to think Horatio Alger was real?

So how many of them have left the US? Slavery was HORRIBLE but which Black ran country is better than the US. Blacks have REAL opportunity in the US we have had Black Governors, Congress men/women, Senators and a VP, a President and Supreme Court Justices. Slavery while HORRIBLE for the slave was one of the best things to happen for their descendants. Especially for today's descendants. Blacks from all over the world are risking their lives to illegally immigrate to the US.

My family fought for the North in the civil war to give the slaves freedom. Non of my family ever owned a slave and my family legally immigrated here in 1843 as dirt poor Irishmen when the Irish were discriminated against. Should I pay for reparations?

Let me ask you, let's say America falls for this clap trap bullshit and allows blacks to be exempt from taxes. Will that make the race hustlers disappear? Will "institutionalized"racism disappear? Or is this just a cheap ass cash grab and as soon as the next black person is killed by a cop they will scream racism and demand more?

I didn’t say reparations reverses the effects of racism, rather, that they are past due, an attempt to settle the accounts

And the the hard knocks get a job rant is antiquated, it is not 1950
 
Maybe they can get free land and a Casino like the Indians


Oh wait...they would loot and rob it...have drive by shootings
